# World State: ch-13

## NPC Memory
- The Student Body (Solas-Pyre Academy): UNIFIED -- Students are dyeing robes charcoal-grey and attempting cross-disciplinary magic -- The "Grey Arcanum" is becoming a grassroots practice.
- Inquisitor Malchor (Capital): DEFEATED -- Fled with shattered golden armor and a useless Severance Key -- Ministry influence at the Academy has collapsed.

## Faction Attitudes
- The Starfall Union: INTEGRATED -- Fire and ice mages now work in a shared "Grey" resonance, viewing their old rivalry as a historical necessity rather than a current reality.
- The Ministry: HOSTILE/DISTANT -- Viewing the Union as a heresy against Imperial monopoly -- Preparing for political fallout.

## Active World Events
- The Grey Era: PERMANENT -- The Starfall storm has stabilized into a mercury-grey aurora; the world climate has achieved equilibrium.
- Transition Completion: The 72-hour stabilization threshold has passed; the schools are legally and magically one entity.
